Just so you don't misunerstand:

If, however, a prisoner at an advanced stage of a hunger strike is restored to consciousness or to a physiological situation where there can be no doubt about his state of mind, and that prisoner clearly indicates disapproval of the doctor's action, then the doctor should be prepared to step back and not intervene again.

These prisoner are not at an advanced "stage."

But no matter. What the above describes is assisted suicide.

I'll let you know what the AMA says in response to my Email.
